[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1.  I would not appreciate you not correcting the kids when they call you mom, but I'd let it slide if you were overall a great nanny.  But would still bother me.

2.  Texting constantly on the weekends to see what "your kids" are up to.  Creepy.  Maybe one text if there was something big going on but not constantly over mundane stuff

3. Coming over the house on your off days.  Just weird.  Don't you have friends and family to spend the holidays with?

4. Spending all your free time doing stuff for my kids.  Again, don't you have a life outside of them?

Like I said, it isn't one of these things it is ALL of them together.  It paints the picture that your entire life is wrapped up in kids who are not yours.  Which is incredibly creepy from a bosses perspective.  My nanny is very loving and sweet and great with the kids.  But she has friends, a boyfriend, and a life outside of them.  So her love for my children is normal and healthy.  Having your entire life be about your charges is not normal and healthy and I'd seriously be worried about you doing something inappropriate.

They know they are getting a good deal.  They know you're obsessed with their children so they can get away with cheap gifts, cheap childcare, and free gifts.  [/quote]

MB here: totally agree with the above. Once, when DD got a high fever on a Friday our nanny texted the next day to see how she was. I thanked her for caring, said DD was coming along and for her to enjoy her weekend and we'd see her Monday. She took the hint. [/quote]
